Chapter 154
L’s POV
This wasn’t what I had in mind. But I was d that Connie was open to at least seeing Tyler. Maybe
she
won’t want to reject him once she spoke to him.
Enzo was thinking she was going to regardless, but I’d like to think maybe not.
“Can’t you wait until after the date to reject him?” I asked a couple of hourster while I was helping
Connie get dressed.
I already had her entire outfit nned already and she looked super cute, as much as I hated to admit
it. Though, I kind of liked her a little more now that I knew she wasn’t in love with Enzo. Not that it
mattered much anyways.
Enzo liked having sex with me, but he doesn’t want me as a mate. I’m a Vna wolf and he’s made it
perfectly clear that he doesn’t want a Vna as a mate.
“Why would I wait?” Connie asked, raising her brows as she peered at me through the mirror while she
did her makeup. “It would only worsen the pain. He knows the rejection ising.”
“But you might change you mind…”
“For the hundredth time, L, I’m not going to change my mind,” she said firmly. “Besides, this is what’s
best for the both of us anyway. We aren’t right for each other”
“Of course, you are right for each other,” I nearly shouted. “You are goddess-fated mates. She created
you for each other.”
“If that were true then what about you and Enzo? You two don’t exactly look like a happy couple.”
I felt my face warm at her words.
“It’splicated,” I said in return, folding my arms across my chest. I wasn’t in the mood to fight about
this, but if she wanted a fight, then I would give her one.

“Well, this isplicated too,” she said, returning to her makeup. “I don’t expect you to understand.
You grew up in a loving home with an adoring family and a pack that cherished you. I didn’t have any of
that stuff. I have to earn my respect and my ce in the pack. Bringing home an Omega mate would
do
the opposite.”
My heart ached at her logic. She was giving up her fated mate to appease a pack that didn’t respect or
even like her it seemed. Her family was awful, and they were desperately trying to turn her into
somebody she was not.
I hated that she had to go through that, and I was upset with Enzo for not telling me sooner about all
the struggles Connie was going through. Maybe I wouldn’t have hated her for so long and so hard too.
Maybe I could have been better to her and treated her with understanding instead of hospitality.
However, she has been after my mate for a while. But now I know it wasn’t because she was in love
with
Enzo and wanted to be with him, it was because she felt pressured into marrying an Alpha and
bing a Luna.
After Connie finished with her makeup, I was in awe of how beautiful she looked. It wasn’t often that I
saw her outside of workout clothing or warrior gear. But seeing her in a beautiful dress that fell just
above her knees, with loose straps that fell around her shoulders, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous she
was.
The dress hugged her every curve and made her boobs look bigger.
Her dark strands of hair were pulled out of her face in a sleek low ponytail. She had no hair out of
ce,
and I was oddly impressed with her ability to do that.
She didn’t wear a heavyyer of makeup, but it took her a while to do her makeup. She must have
mastered the art of a natural look using makeup.
I wanted to make a slyment about her dressing up just to reject her mate, but I chose not ot
because I didn’t want her to change or undo anything.
“Let’s get this over with,” she muttered as she walked toward the bathroom door to enter the living
room where Enzo was waiting for us.
Enzo and I were nning on going with them on their date, but only watching them from a distance.
We just wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. We both wore evening clothing as well. I wore
a ck dress with straps that went around my neck and pockets stitched in the front.
Enzo wore a ck button-down shirt without a tie and ck business pants.
I hated how good he looked. It was driving both Val and me crazy.
“I told him to meet you at the restaurant,” I exined to Connie who was inquiring about where Tyler
was.
Her frown only deepened.
“He couldn’t even pick me up?” She asked, rolling her eyes. “Pathetic.”
“It was my idea,” I said quickly. “He wanted toe but I told him it would be better if you just met
him. Just in case.”
“Whatever,” she muttered. “I just want to get this over and done with.”
“Just get through dinner before you make any decisions,” I pleaded.
She said nothing.
We left for the restaurant shortly after. Enzo drove.
The restaurant was right on the waterfront and overlooked the beautiful ocean. It was still light out, so
the sun reflected off the water, making it glisten beautifully. There were outdoor lights veiled over the
building and expanding out down the cobblestone walkway, over our heads like a bridge.
Flowers of all different colors bloomed across the green bushes that sat beside the path we took to the
front entrance.
Upon nearing the main doors, ssical music yed from the live orchestra.
“This ce is beautiful,” I breathed, staring up at therge white pirs that also contained outdoor
lighting. “It’s everything I imagined…”
“Of course, I’ve heard about this ce. This was one of the fanciest restaurants in the world. Enzo and
I
agreed that Connie would love this ce. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
However, she looked around with a frown on her face.
“It’s a little much, don’t you think?” She asked, looking over at me.
Before I could say anything, I saw Connie tensing and I knew at that moment her mate was nearby.
She
was trying to hide the smile tugging at her lips and the excitement on her face. Instead, she just
straightened her shoulders and turned in his direction.
He was standing at the table we reserved for them, and my goddess looked incredibly handsome.
Connie had to have noticed that as well.
Rejecting him wasn’t going to be easy for her.
She made her way to the table, and he instantly started to talk quickly.
“I’m sorry if this was kind of sprung on you. That wasn’t my intention. I just thought maybe if we went
out, I could prove to you that I could be the guy that you need or want. I know you are disappointed in
me as your mate, but I will do what I can to deem worthy of you.”
She was quiet for a moment as she processed what he had said. Then she said something in a low
tone
and for a moment, I worried about what it might be.
But then, to my relief, Tyler smiled and motioned for her to sit with him. The two of them sat together
and instantly started a conversation.
“Sorry, but you can’t just stand there. If you don’t have a reservation, you’ll have to leave,” A waiter said
to Enzo and me.
Connie and Tyler looked content, and I should probably check the estimated time of that carriage ride.
Just when I was about to say, “We’ll go,” Enzo spoke first, and his words startled me.
“I have a reservation for two under the name Enzo.”
